Alex Merritt was born in 1981 in Washington, DC. Having previously lived and worked in Jersey City, New Jersey, Merritt recently moved his studio to Arizona.
It was in his late 20s that Merritt took up painting, having been introduced to art for its therapeutic qualities while living in a treatment centre for addiction. Since his first solo exhibition in New York, Merritt’s works have been acquired by multiple collections worldwide.
Social and emotional disharmonies permeate his work as Merritt is not afraid to address the dichotomy of life, encapsulating the haunting beauty and anguish of the human condition.
